The Commonwealth Health Professions Alliance (CHPA), of which the CNF is a founding member, conducted a survey of its members on their knowledge of and involvement in their countries efforts to achieve the health MDGs. The results of the survey were published in the 2010 Commonwealth Health Ministers' Update (Commonwealth Secretariat). The CHPA also conducted an inaugural pre-CHMM civil society debate with the topic: The health MDGs - possible or impossible for Commonwealth countries. Celebrating Commonwealth Day The second Monday in March is Commonwealth Day. Its purpose is to promote understanding about global issues, international co-operation and the work of the modern Commonwealth. Each year a different theme is chosen for Commonwealth Day. The Head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II and the Commonwealth Secretary-General both issue statements on the theme.
